Should I Be Worried About Concussion ?

My boyfriend recieved his second concussion in the last year playing football. The first one was a 2 on a scale of 3 (3 being the worst). The more recent one was two days ago, and he blacked out momentarily afterwards. He has had constant headaches and difficulty walking. Last night he wet the bed which he has not done since he was a child. Should I be worried?

Hi such occasional bed wets could be due to excessive drowsiness and should not be a problem. It is more prevalent if he is under the influence of alcohol. However he does require a physical examination and needs to be assessed.
